The best way to protect your home is to schedule annual inspections and maintenance for its critical subsystems. A maintenance program makes that more convenient and affordable. Let’s explore a dozen reasons why enrolling in an annual maintenance plan is a great idea.
1. You’ll Save Money
The average home needs at least four maintenance appointments a year. If you schedule them individually, you’ll pay face value for those services each time. If you enroll, you pay for them all upfront and do so at a discount. Our company also waives all trip fees for our members.
2. Better Home Comfort
Your heating, cooling, and plumbing systems keep you comfortable year-round. When you turn your HVAC system on, you’ll have confidence that it’ll provide the heating or cooling you need. You’ll enjoy a consistent temperature in all rooms and between floors. Your water heater keeps your water comfortable and safe. You also won’t have to worry about running out of hot water.
3. Stay On Top of All Your Home’s Systems
While this isn’t true of all residential service providers, we’re a full-service company. Our team includes licensed electricians who can inspect your electrical systems, identify code issues, and spot problems. We have NATE-certified HVAC technicians who are current with the latest heating and cooling technologies and standards.
You can also rely on our team for ventilation, humidity control, and advanced air purification. Our company also has licensed plumbers who can help reduce water usage, soften your water, and ensure high-quality drinking water.
4. Your Service Provider Will Schedule for You
We all lead busy lives, and remembering to schedule regular maintenance can be a hassle. It may slip your mind, and by the time you remember, it may seem better to wait until next year. As a plan member, you won’t have to worry about it. Our team will track when we last performed maintenance on a system and when it needs it again. We’ll reach out to you in advance and schedule that prepaid appointment for a day and time that’s convenient for you.
5. Ensure Safe Systems for Your Family
Routine and consistent maintenance will make your home safer for the entire household. A poorly maintained electrical system can make you more prone to dangerous electrical fires. Annually, we’ll check your electrical panel, wiring, and more.
If you have whole-home surge protection, our team will ensure it’s protecting you against lightning and other surges. Inadequately maintained HVAC systems can lead to fires as well. With fuel-burning systems, there’s the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and other toxic gases. When plumbing doesn’t get the maintenance it needs, there’s a risk of water quality issues:
- Acidity
- Corrosion
- Limescale
- Heavy metals
- Cross-contamination
6. Build a Strong Customer-Business Relationship
Another advantage of committing to a maintenance provider is building a relationship with them. You’ll feel comfortable with the team members and confident in their expertise. Over time, they’ll gain an intimate appreciation of your home’s systems, which allows them to provide you with even more personalized professional advice. We even include My Tech as a membership perk. If you have a preferred technician, we’ll ensure that your preferred expert comes to your home for each appointment.
7. Maintenance Helps Avoid Expensive Repairs
Homeowners often spend unnecessarily on repairs. Our electricians, technicians, and plumbers can identify minor issues before they become problems requiring expensive repairs. A proactive repair will be more affordable and convenient even when a part fails and needs replacement.
Common electrical problems we can catch early include old and damaged wires, faulty circuit breakers, and bad outlets and switches. You’ll have peace of mind that your heating and cooling systems are ready to go when needed. Our customers also enjoy confidence in plumbing, water heaters, fixtures, water-using appliances, and much more.
8. Improved Energy Efficiency and Lower Operating Costs
Heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems can become inefficient through normal wear and tear. This affects your household in two important ways: It increases your household’s carbon footprint and water consumption and drives up your electricity and fuel costs. We can help you avoid this through a maintenance plan in many ways. One example is cleaning the evaporator coil of your AC or heat pump to avoid inefficient energy transfer. Another is flushing your water heater to remove all the sediment and limescale from the tank.
9. Extended Equipment Lifespan and Lower Total Costs
Dealing with wear and tear on a timely basis also has long-term benefits. If you don’t, the wear and tear can accumulate, permanently reducing efficiency and lowering the lifespan. The average lifespan of furnaces and air conditioners is about 15 years. That’s an average. Many of them don’t even make it that long. With routine maintenance, you can be one of the outliers that makes it to 20 years or beyond.
10. Discounts for Other Services
The top HVAC companies want to ensure maintenance program enrollment is worth your money. One way they do that is through further discounts. For every year you’re a plan member, we’ll give you a $50 service card. You can use that card for any service you like. You can save your cards and use as many as you like on the same service. Our company also provides a 10% discount covering all parts and labor. You’ll receive that discount on additional maintenance, repairs, new installations, and system replacements.
11. Priority Service
Maintenance plan members are a company’s most loyal customers, and returning that loyalty is important. Whether you need maintenance or an unexpected repair, you’ll go to the front of the line. Our technicians will get out to your home as soon as possible to provide the service you need. That means you’ll almost always enjoy same-day service, and of course, you’ll always have access to our 24/7 emergency services.
12. Extended Warranty Coverage
Most HVAC companies stand behind their repairs with a one-year warranty for workmanship and parts. For our members, we extend that warranty to a full five years. As long as you’re a plan member, that protection gives you great peace of mind. We’ll fix your problem, and if something goes wrong within five years, we’ll fix it again at no cost to you.
